Endpoint Registration

The Endpoint Registration page allows you to identify the status of the API key required for Endpoint registration. It also allows you to copy, edit, enable/disable, and regenerate the API key.

How to Get There

In the Powertech Antivirus Navigation Pane, choose Settings > Endpoint Registration.

Options

API Key

Click to show a menu with the following actions:

  • Copy Key To Clipboard. Copies the API key to the clipboard.
  • Enable/Disable Key. API keys are enabled by default. You can disable an API key if it is not needed. When Require API Key is set to On, the API key must be enabled in order to add Endpoints.
  • Regenerate Key. This option regenerates the API key. This action may be required if the old key has been compromised, or as part of, for example, a security policy that requires the key to be regenerated periodically.
  • Edit Key. Opens the Edit API Key dialog where you can manually edit the API Key.

Registration

Displays the Powertech Antivirus Server Address and a sample registration command that corresponds to the current server. This command can be copied to simplify the process of registering endpoints.

  • Server Address. Displays the address of the Powertech Antivirus Server.

  • Command. Displays a command that can be used to quickly register the endpoint.

  • Copy Command to Clipboard. Click Copy Command to Clipboard to copy the command ready to paste at the point of registration. Once copied, the following optional parameters can be added to the registration command:

    • -a (Alias Name)

    • -c (Client Name)

    • -t (Registration Tags)

NOTE: If “Require API Key” is disabled, then the API key is not included in the sample command

Require API Key

When off, Endpoints can register without an API key or with any properly formatted UUID/API key (less secure).

Require Approval of New Endpoints

When off, Endpoints are automatically approved (Allowed) on the Connection Settings list after registration (less secure).
